Which of these enzymes,isolable from shipworm endosymbionts,shows commercial potential?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shipworm is a wood-boring marine bivalve that has cellulose-rich diet. Therefore, the isolable enzyme with commercial potential would be cellulase, which can break down cellulose into glucose and other simple sugars, which can be used in the production of biofuels, textiles, and paper pulp. Amylase breaks down starch, Protease breaks down proteins, Lipase breaks down fats, and Nuclease breaks down nucleic acids; however, these enzymes are not as relevant to the shipworm's diet and therefore have less commercial potential.
